I just showed this video to my son Manni who is 7 and has lots of questions about factory farms vs. family farms.
He started crying and when I asked him why the tears, he answered "Because I've never seen a cow so happy before and I'm just so grateful".
We thank you for raising happy cows!!
With love and admiration,
Fran & Manni

I love Joanie! She is a beautiful cow. I would dearly love to visit Vermont some day and perhaps see your cows. Dream: live a couple of weeks on a dairy farm taking care of the animals, learning how to milk, etc. What an experience it would be!

Just wanted to thank you for your efforts, hard work. I enjoy Stonyfield for the reasons you get up everyday and do your job...its the right thing to do. I cherish Vermont for its yogurt, cheese & syrup. Vermont is always welcome at my house. May God richly bless you and your efforts.
